How do join these queues? Were the queues only for those that pre ordered at launch day? I simply don't see where to join.
I'm afraid you cannot join the queue at present, OCUK are not allowing new orders till the back log of thousands already ordered are cleared,.
I have had a Asus tuf 3080 OC on order since Oct 7th started at 918 in queue and am now at 170 in said queue so a while to go yet, and that's just on the above card, all the other cards have queues as well!! 
think its going to be a long time before new people can order again.

I'm an idiot. So about the above RMA I performed on my RTX 3080. About a day after I got my perfectly working card again the same issues plagued me. System would randomly shutdown and wouldn't make it pass POST without a few resets/clear CMOS etc. I thought to myself the issue was my motherboard/CPU/RAM (as I'd had a replacement Corsair AX1200i sent to me last August) - Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 7 / I7 6700K. A couple of days ago I received a brand new Asus Rog Strix x570-e / 5800X and a new Corsair Vengeance 32GB 3600Mhz dual channel RAM kit. Tested the board outside of my case worked perfectly fine. Plumbed everything into the case, prayed to Gaben and then no POST. I was gutted. Went to sleep and thought I would have to RMA the PSU as that was the only thing I could think of causing the issue.
Yesterday morning I removed the PSU, disconnected everything and did what I should have damn well done in the first place. Kept everything in the case, and added cables from my PSU externally to the components in the case one at a time. 24pin ATX + 4pin EPS + 8pin EPS first and it booted fine. Left the GPU out of the equation and then started adding the SATA power connectors back in. Failed to POST at that point. Turns out I had a burnt out SATA power connector. I had been using an NZXT internal USB hub since 2016, it's powered by molex but I had been using a molex to SATA power connector to save having to use a string of molex connectors for one connection. All that pain caused by a cheap Chinese connector from Amazon. Removed the NZXT USB hub from my system and replaced the faulty SATA power connector and boom working system.
Moral of story, do a proper test of components on lack of POST (to save money and heart ache!). On the plus side I am happy with my upgrade to Zen 3, so least there was a positive.

100% this...And good on them for doing it
Clearly you have no idea of just how low interest rates on business accounts for cash have become in recent months.
Over the last 6 months they will have earned around £500 per million or possibly less, 'amassed' isn't a word I'd have used
Best to check twitter for alerts on stock status - FEs have been in stock 2/3 times over the past few days - I finally got a 3080 FE and my friends managed to get them too, the 3070s and 3090s have also been in stock over the weekend.
Stock goes fast, within a couple of minutes but the checkout process via Nvidia/Scan seems really fair with anti bot checks etc.
It feels like a lot more stock is coming through now from Nvidia.
Wont stand up in court as once the money has been taken the contract is final

Hoping March brings more stock our way, however I am not feeling very confident.

Yes, my business bank offers 0.01% to a whopping 0.1% with restrictions. OCUK cashflow situation must be ok though?Clearly you have no idea of just how low interest rates on business accounts for cash have become in recent months.

We need a patron saint of GPUsNovember/Dec/Jan and Feb did not
We can pray
My forecast for delivery of the TUF non OC is Wk4 June after ordering on 21st Sep - I was not expecting any movement the last couple of weeks because of CNY and the following ramp up. Hopefully, ASUS will return to average 30/wk from this week.
Still enjoying my GTX980, but the card I had installed with the 10700 started to run a bit warm so swapped with the Piledriver rig - after fitting new fans as I discovered a broken blade on that one.
I am sure that some new thermal paste will help the temps, but I really do not want to take it apart.

I see the eagle 3080 oc is still extinct 
what's going on??
what's going on??What position are you? I’m 12 and it’s killing meI see the eagle 3080 oc is still extinct
I don't get why people are still putting up with being in these slow moving queues.
I was about 580th in the Asus TUF non oc queue, ordered on launch day, cancelled after about 3 weeks of waiting. Within a week or 2 after that I managed to get a card from somewhere else. I didn't even use the discord things or notification checker sites. Even a mate managed to get one a few days after me from somewhere different to me.
Are people just comfortable just sitting in a massive queue? I don't get it. I would be mega frustrated by now.

Console just isn't an option. I pretty much only use sim titles, I have a sim rig, and VR headset. My only real interest is for VR, and pretty much only racing in VR. I can't do that on a console. When I do play on a single screen my current 2070 super is perfectly capable and I wouldn't upgrade. I only need a 3080 because I had just bought a G2 headset and play ACC. Even the 3080 will struggle to do what I want.
It's not like there's really an alternative. I either wait for the card I bought, spend my day sitting on shops for cards to drop, or just wait until it's all clamed down. Either way I'm waiting.
I see, I hope a mammoth stock drops , very soon that way all back orders might get cleared and you can enjoy your new gear.
I think people are looking for other options but finding it so hard to strike a deal. Even if you manage to get an rtx3080 from a retailer it’s still costing more than it was on release. Even if the queue is just a backup or something
Supposedly... hope cards actually start arriving. I feel sorry for ocuk, I imagine there will be a bit of a celebration the day the back orders are finally cleared
